Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 The Spirit filled (or Spirit-controlled) life begins with an overwhelming realization that we are absolutely helpless and hopeless apart from the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Until that one simple truth grips us at the core of our being, we will always be out there doing things for God in our own strength... God is an expert at engineering circumstances so that we find ourselves totally dependent on Him. Dr Charles Stanley Have a Blessed Day! John
